A special kind of normal

It was a normal average day with a few wonderful surprises built in. A mom's job doesn't end on her birthday, but the boys did their best to try to give me a few moments of special-ness.

Here is a run down of my day -

1. Wake up to Jackson with a high blood sugar of 444.2. Make Kenny change out of winter clothes for this warm October day.3. Counsel Kenny on making amends to a friend he hurt.4. Drop Jackson off and apologize for his possible craziness.5. Get gas at only $3.39/gallon at Costco (thought I was getting a steal until I talked to Natalie and she said gas is $2.49/gallon in Wichita today - ugh!)6. Run to grocery store for a few baking goods to make the yummy Oatmeal Spice Cake from Sweetwater retreat7. Go home and talk to Amy while I tidy up.8. Upload sneak peeks of November projects for 4 Scrappy Sisters9. Pick up Jackson from Kindergarten10. Got bagels and cream cheese for lunch at Uncle Harry's11.
